Meat Mugalgal with Mushroom Sauce

Our new take on this favourite Saudi dish features the traditional juicy lamb, aromatic spices and piquant tomato sauce but we’ve mixed things up a bit by adding mushrooms and suggesting that you accompany it with creamy, buttery mashed potatoes. The result? A meat mugalgal with mushroom sauce recipe that’s ideal for a modern Eid feast.
